Trump has tapped Palantir, which has been used by the Israeli government in its war on Gaza, to compile information on people in the United States.

“If you're not freaking out yet, you should be,” says @carolecadwalla.bsky.social.

Over 250 Photos From Around the Nation and the World From the Historic “No Kings Day” Protests Almost no one showed up to Donald Trump’s surprisingly timid, depressing, and generally lackluster birthday party in Washington, but protests against him were bursting at the seams across the globe.

(🧵) I’ve never—in 30 years in journalism—published a report like this: one that could genuinely bring hope. I spent the last 15 hours curating and labeling photos from hundreds of No Kings Day protests. It’s the largest archive of its kind and it has *lots* of Easter eggs (memes, an essay and more).

The tech billionaire war on "woke" is really a war on workers Mark Zuckerberg wants "masculine energy" and "aggression" at the office — sounds like a toxic workplace
